I've found using a subdomain helps with that, spammers will try everything@domain.tld but won't bother trying to brute force subdomains.
However be warned some surprisingly large websites don't support subdomains, for example eBay will silently send user@sub.domain.tld to user@domain.tld and you'll only figure it out by looking at your server logs for rejected mail.
In those cases I have to specifically alias that username@domain.tld to the subdomain.
With this new Apple privacy subdomain maybe eBay will finally fix this.
- janc_ 4mo agoWhy would anyone entrust money to a company like eBay if they are this incompetent at something as simple as e-mail?
- int_19h 4mo agoBecause the world runs on incompetence, so it's ultimately unavoidable (best case, you don't know that something important that you're relying on is run incompetently).
